Simple is Better than More

A Company Evolution
We’re very proud of the path we’ve taken. Explore the history that made us the company we are today.
2003
Founded
2003 Founded
Spider Strategies began as a software consulting company. We helped companies build their websites and shape their online marketing. We also worked on a few smaller government projects, helping them process sensitive back-end data.
2004
Launched Scoreboard
2004 Launched Scoreboard
In April 2004, Spider Strategies entered the Corporate Performance Management (CPM) market with our first off-the-shelf software product, Scoreboard. As one of the first software packages to combine scorecard theory with modern web technology, Scoreboard was successful across business, government, and education.
2009
Launched QuickScore
2009 Launched QuickScore
For the first 6 years, Scoreboard was our only software product. Customers used it for a variety of performance management methodologies, including KPI tracking and Balanced Scorecards. That all changed in 2009 when we partnered with the Balanced Scorecard Institute to market a re-branded version of Scoreboard aimed solely at the Balanced Scorecard market. We called the new product QuickScore.
2013
Launched Dash
2013 Launched Dash
Dash marked our first push into the broader consumer software market. It allowed you to build a dashboard from scratch in minutes. There weren't any complicated analytics or back-end number crunching. You just told Dash what to display and it showed it. Although we no longer offer Dash as a stand-alone product, its technology became the foundation for Scoreboard/QuickScore 3.
2017
Scoreboard/
QuickScore 3
2017 Scoreboard/QuickScore 3
In early 2017, Spider Strategies released Scoreboard/QuickScore 3. It was the result of a complete software redesign and years of development. Version 3 allowed us to take a step back and completely rethink how performance management software should work. It featured a modern design, was incredibly fast, and worked on all modern devices.
2020
Launched
Spider Impact
2020 Launched Spider Impact
In September 2020, Spider Strategies released Spider Impact, bringing QuickScore and Scoreboard together into one robust performance management solution. Spider Impact provides the insight to maximize organizational performance through data visualization, team alignment, communication, and robust initiative management… bringing your strategy to life.
